wasn't it also the telegraph who said Buderus was off home...

I wouldn't be suprised if he goes.

I think it's a load of tosh to be honest! I agree with perp, if you don't wanna be here get yaself off! but that paper prints so much guff.

westerman anyone!

Depends if he can keep himself out of the pub for long enough.

As good a pro as Ryan is (and i'm sure he could do a Furner type job for us) i'd prefer Eastwood,but as others have said if it was a choice between Ryan who wants to be here and Eastwood who doesn't (assuming there's some half truth in it) then i'd take Ryan.

Thats if I had to make a choice between the two. The other argument would be that if Eastwood doesn't want to be here,release him from his contract and stay with what we've got and we've got extra cash to spread amongst the squad at end of next season/give us even more flexibility on the SC given there will be so many out of contract stars at the end of 2011.

Interesting. Don't know if this ever got published in the YEP. I'm assuming it's genuine.

His dad was very vocal on a group on FB not so long ago. Saying pretty much the same things he has in that letter.

i'm sure the club could afford to fly some of his family over to keep him company and to help him settle in for a year or so

Didn't I read somewhere that naughty Melbourne were going to have to release Ryan Hoffman due to their salary cap nonsense ?

I thought he played great for them in the WCC .... Would he be interested as a replacement ?

Let him go, no sense keeping an unhappy player eventually it will start to show in his performances. Just move on, we won before him and we'll win after him

I'm sure if he were that unhappy the club wouldn't threaten legal action and make an unhappy player stay who could cause all kinds of problems.
Like i posted before both he and the club issued a statement saying it was all BS.
Add to the fact that this same rag claimed DB was pining for Newcastle and would be back in Oz before the end of June and look what happened there.
If his heart wasn't in it i think it'd show on the field and make it almost impossible for Bluey to pick him.

No, apparently they can't.
